4. Make sure the Fly stamping on the piston is
facing toward the flywheel side of the engine.
Use a hammer with a rubber or wood grip and
gently tap the piston into the cylinder as shown
in Figure 10-9. Be careful that the oil ring rails do
not spring free between the bottom of the ring
compressor and the top of the cylinder.
5. Install the inner rod cap to the connecting rod
using the two hex flange screws. Torque the
screws in increments to 11.3 N·m (100 in. lb.).
Illustrated instructions are provided in the
service rod package. See Figures 10-10 and 10-11.
NOTE: Align the chamfer of the connecting
rod with the chamfer of its mating end
cap. When installed, the flat faces of the
connecting rods should face each other.
The faces with the raised rib should be
toward the outside.
6. Repeat the above procedure for the other
connecting rod and piston assembly.
1. Apply camshaft lubricant (Kohler Part No.
25 357 14-S) to the contact surface of the valve
tappets. See Figure 10-12 .Note the mark or tag
identifying the tappets and install them in their
appropriate crankcase locations. See Figure 10-13.
A small amount of grease applied to the stems
will hold the valve tappets up until the camshaft
is installed.
NOTE: The exhaust valve tappets are located on
the output shaft side of the engine, while
the intake valve tappets are located on
the fan side of the engine. The cylinder
number is embossed on the outside of
each cylinder on the crankcase. Valve
tappets should always be installed in the
same position as before disassembly.
